When a transparent opaque attribute is set to A_ONE, it means the transparency information will be taken from the alpha channel of the color, texture, or parameter supplying the value. The value of 1.0 is opaque in this mode.
When a transparent opaque attribute is set to RGB_ZERO, it means the transparency information will be taken from the red, green, and blue channels of the color, texture, or parameter supplying the value. Each channel is modulated independently. The value of 0.0 is opaque in this mode.
When a surface's type attribute is set to UNTYPED, its type is initially unknown and established later by the context in which it is used, such as by a texture sampler that references it. A surface of any other type may be changed into an UNTYPED surface at run-time, as if it were created by <newparam>, using <setparam>. If there is a type mismatch between a <setparam> operation and what the run-time decides the type should be, the result is profile- and platform-specific behavior.
The per-texel layout of the format. The length of the string indicate how many channels there are and the letter respresents the name of the channel. There are typically 0 to 4 channels.RGB color mapRGB color + Alpha map often used for color + transparency or other things packed into channel A like specular power Luminance map often used for light mapping Luminance+Alpha map often used for light mapping Depth map often used for displacement, parellax, relief, or shadow mapping Typically used for normal maps or 3component displacement maps.Typically used for normal maps where W is the depth for relief or parrallax mapping Each channel of the texel has a precision. Typically these are all linked together. An exact format lay lower the precision of an individual channel but applying a higher precision by linking the channels together may still convey the same information.For integers this typically represents 8 bits.

Implimentation could be integer-fixedpoint or floats.Format is representing a decimal value that remains within the 0 to 1 range.

When other initialization methods are needed.Init the entire surface with one compound image such as DDSInit the entire surface with one compound image such as DDSInit mip level 0 of the surface with one compound image such as DDS. Use of this element expects that the surface has element mip_levels=0 or mipmap_generate.Init the entire surface with one compound image such as DDSInit all primary mip level 0 subsurfaces with one compound image such as DDS. Use of this element expects that the surface has element mip_levels=0 or mipmap_generate.This sequence exists to allow the order elements to be optional but require that if they exist there must be 6 of them.If the image dues not natively describe the face ordering then this series of order elements will describe which face the index belongs tooInit each face mipchain with one compound image such as DDS

The common set of initalization options for surfaces. Choose which is appropriate for your surface based on type and other characteristics. described by the annotation docs on the child elements.This surface is intended to be initialized later externally by a "setparam" element. If it is used before being initialized there is profile and platform specific behavior. Most elements on the surface element containing this will be ignored including mip_levels, mipmap_generate, size, viewport_ratio, and format.Init as a target for depth, stencil, or color. It does not need image data. Surface should not have mipmap_generate when using this.Init a CUBE from a compound image such as DDSInit a 3D from a compound image such as DDSInit a 1D,2D,RECT,DEPTH from a compound image such as DDSInitialize the surface one sub-surface at a time by specifying combinations of mip, face, and slice which make sense for a particular surface type. Each sub-surface is initialized by a common 2D image, not a complex compound image such as DDS. If not all subsurfaces are initialized, it is invalid and will result in profile and platform specific behavior unless mipmap_generate is responsible for initializing the remainder of the sub-surfaces

Choose which is appropriate for your surface based on the type attribute and other characteristics described by the annotation docs on the choiced child elements of this type.Contains a string representing the profile and platform specific texel format that the author would like this surface to use. If this element is not specified then the application will use a common format R8G8B8A8 with linear color gradient, not sRGB.If the exact format cannot be resolved via the "format" element then the format_hint will describe the important features of the format so that the application may select a compatable or close formatThe surface should be sized to these exact dimensionsThe surface should be sized to a dimension based on this ratio of the viewport's dimensions in pixelsthe surface should contain the following number of MIP levels. If this element is not present it is assumed that all miplevels exist until a dimension becomes 1 texel. To create a surface that has only one level of mip maps (mip=0) set this to 1. If the value is 0 the result is the same as if mip_levels was unspecified, all possible mip_levels will exist.By default it is assumed that mipmaps are supplied by the author so, if not all subsurfaces are initialized, it is invalid and will result in profile and platform specific behavior unless mipmap_generate is responsible for initializing the remainder of the sub-surfacesSpecifying the type of a surface is mandatory though the type may be "UNTYPED". When a surface is typed as UNTYPED, it is said to be temporarily untyped and instead will be typed later by the context it is used in such as which samplers reference it in that are used in a particular technique or pass. If there is a type mismatch between what is set into it later and what the runtime decides the type should be the result in profile and platform specific behavior.
